Tongli Water Town Visit and Courtyard Lifestyle Experience at Jinze Water Village

Greet your guide and small group outside your central Shanghai hotel and travel to the ancient water town of Tongli in air-conditioned comfort. Enjoy a walking tour of this ancient town with its picturesque alleyways and scenic canals, and visit the UNESCO-listed Retreat and Reflection Garden.

Your next stop is the less-visited water village of Jinze, where some buildings date back 1,000 years. Visit a courtyard teahouse for a cooking demonstration and 8-course lunch washed down with juice, wine, beer, tea, or Chinese spirits. Next, enjoy a Chinese tea ceremony and, if you’d like, try your hand at calligraphy. Learn to make dumplings with your host and eat them as a light supper before your guide drops you back at your hotel.

• Enjoy lunch, a tea ceremony, and a dumpling class in a courtyard teahouse
• Travel in a group limited to eight in a Wi-Fi–enabled minivan
• Relax with round-trip transportation from central Shanghai

Delve deeper into Chinese culture than you ever could independently on this cultural tour. First, explore Tongli Town and Jinze Ancient Town. Then, visit a traditional courtyard teahouse for an 8-course lunch (with drinks), a tea ceremony, and a dumpling-making class. You can even try your hand at Chinese calligraphy. A small group size means you receive plenty of personal attention, and Shanghai hotel pickup and drop-off add extra convenience.
